\"AngryYesterday the blogosphere heard about the frustration of blogger Debauchette<\/a>, who discovered that porn mag Tight had lifted large parts of her writing and passed it off as original.<\/p>\n

Today I find I’m in the same boat. Doing a spot of Google rank research for this blog I discovered that some shit site called Radical Left had lifted the entire text<\/a> of my I Hate The Money Shot article<\/a> and added the byline “By Max Blunt”. They’ve also lifted a large amount of my post on oring blowjobs and feminist facials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While they did make a token effort by including a link to the original money short article, I don’t much like having the entire text<\/em> reposted on another site without my permission and with some plagiarist’s byline added.<\/p>\n

When this happens you just feel really angry and violated. And the thing is, it happens all the time on the web. There’s plenty of unscrupulous bloggers out there who have no concept of copyright at all and will happily scrape whatever text content they can find. I’m used to spam blogs stealing my stuff but this looks like deliberate plagiarism by a human being rather than a bot.<\/p>\n

The frustrating thing is that this blog has spent far too long languishing at the bottom of Google’s index for some transgression I’ve yet to discover (and believe me, I’ve tried to fix it). And then you discover that your lovely, search-engine friendly, hand-written text has just been lifted and duplicated.<\/p>\n

Ms Naughty is NOT a creative commons blog. Call me old fashioned but I figure that if I spend my time creating something then it’s MINE and you can’t just use it unless you pay me. Or at the very least ask<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ve left a comment and sent an email. We’ll see what happens next.<\/p>\n

Edit: A bit more Google search reveals this post has also been plagiarised here<\/a>. And to add that extra kick in the teeth, Google ranks it above MY article. DAMMIT. God knows where else it will fucking turn up. Bastards.<\/p>\n

Edit Again: Well, it’s not just me. Seems this Ed Strong arsehole just steals everything. This post<\/a> steals Tristan Taormino’s column<\/a> about women loving gay male porn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
